Show THE CITIZEN 10 With the First Nighters PANTAGES. have been most inviting and almost every afternoon of any day in the week Saltair bathing is the cooling and enervating sport for thousands. Every day in the week is a feature day at Saltair, and those who would steal a little time from their every day trials and tribulations will find something unusual going on at this resort any time they take a notion to pay a visit. Saltair is the Mecca for tourists who visit it by the hundreds, many taking their first dip in the salty brine of Utahs inland sea, emerging amazed at its buoyancy and its great enervating qualities. Saltair has many other charms and attractions besides bathing in the 22 per cent salt waters of the lake, and you will surely appreciate all of them. - Talented Salt Lake girls five of of them headed by Dorothy Rippe, are easily the headliners this week at the. popular Pantages play house.-MisRippe is assisted by her four musical friends, Miss Lucile Jenkins, s Miss Mildred Maupin, Miss Mary ODonnell and Miss Isabel Jenkins. They are all from the classes of the St. Marys academy and their tuneful offerings show marvelous technique, exceptional mastery and a wide sity. All the girls are able to play more than one instrument with rare ability from the violin to the harp, and including, the piano. The rendition of enOld Virginia by the quintette semble, was the hit of the act and firmly established the young misses in the esteem of the big first night audience which thronged Pantages to overflowing on last Wednesday night. Not Yet Marie, another headliner musical and girlish skit, is an act of exceptional piquancy, flashy costuming and a rare bit of stage humor, which features William Edmonds as Bambino, a photographic artist in whose artistically set studio the action of the skit is effectively staged. Mr. Edmonds is assisted in . the act by several pulchritudinous maidens of good voice and snappy dancing ability, with William Prueteem, Jr., Loraine Lester and Fanchon Haywood in the character parts. Grace Hayes, a winsome maiden with a fine soprano voice and a charming personality, sings many popular airs in a fetching manner. Her efforts were especially pleasing to the audience and she was forced to answer to several rounds of applause. Little Napoleon, the educated ape, does a clever almost human stunt, working by himself most of the time. His apish tricks consist in smoking, bicycle riding and simulating the acts of the genus man as closely as possible for. one of his species. Little Napoleon shows great amiability and is quite particular about the applause given him. Barton and Sparling stage a very clever singing act. Barton as messenger boy is more than clever and possessed of a strong, tuneful voice. He gets away with much harmony and lots of humor in which he is ably assisted by his partner. The bill for the week opens with a feature picture entitled Partners of the Tide, which tells a strong story of the sea and the rivalry of two deep sea divers for the love of the same girl. Pantages fans will be more than pleased with the well rounded program offered them this week. SALTAIR.

Furious over the unexpected loss of the coveted prize prey, the wizard corners Robert in his library room, as the lights burn low! Accusations! Hideous slander! The inner explosion of fiendish hatred! Slowly, surely, with deliberate intent to enrage and burn deep into the honor of this boy, does the wizard hurl his verbal bombs!
